Definitions

  • the present invention generally concerns the area of interventional radiology.
  • the principle of interventional radiology procedures for a user, consists of performing surgical procedure on a patient with the assistance of a medical imaging system.
  • This medical imaging system allows the acquisition, processing and display of data in real time, such as the position of an instrument for example and/or a depiction of the inside of the patient.
  • An interventional radiology room conventionally comprises:
  • Interventional radiology has become indispensable for the therapeutic management of numerous pathologies.
  • hybrid intervention rooms allow the conducting of conventional interventional radiology as well as surgical operations usually performed in operating rooms. So that they can be used for interventions of different types, these hybrid rooms can be equipped with two tables for example a conventional interventional radiology table and a surgery table.
  • An imaging system was proposed by Siemens® in which the X-ray acquisition device is arranged at the end of a swivel arm able to be moved over the entire radiology room.
  • the display means consist of a monitor fixed to a wall of the room or several monitors fixed to a suspension mounted on rails on the ceiling. With this device it is possible, in one same room, to conduct two surgical procedures of different types using a single imaging system which can be moved from one operating table to another.
  • One purpose of various aspects of the present invention is to propose an ergonomic imaging system allowing the display means to be maintained in the field of vision of the user, irrespective of the position of the acquisition device.
  • one purpose of certain aspects of the present invention is to propose a medical imaging system allowing limitation of the risk that the display means may be hidden behind medical equipment in the interventional radiology room.
  • one aspect of the invention proposes a medical imaging system comprising a movable acquisition device, a processing unit and display means, noteworthy in that the display means are fixed to the acquisition device and can be moved relative to the acquisition device.
  • the medical imaging system allows the acquisition of a patient's X-ray data, the processing of this data to generate images, and the display of these images on display means.
  • the imaging system comprises an image acquisition device 1, an image processing unit 2 and image display means 3.
  • the acquisition device 1 allows X-ray data to be obtained of a region in the patient 6 during an operation.
  • the acquisition device 1 can be moved around the operation room. In particular, this allows two surgical procedures to be carried out assisted by a single imaging system, the procedures being performed on two tables located in the same operating room.
  • the acquisition device 1 comprises a C-arm 11 which carries a radiation source 12 at one of its ends, and at its other end a sensor 13.
  • the arm 11 is pivot mounted on a stand 15 that is column-shaped.
  • the C-arm 11 is capable of being pivoted about the axis of a table 14 intended to receive the patient 6 to be imaged, and to be moved relative to this table 14 along various directions so as to allow adjustment of the positioning of said arm 11 relative to that part of the patient 6 it is desired to image.
  • the source 12 projects a conical radiation which is received by the sensor 13 after passing through the patient 6 to be imaged.
  • the data acquired on leaving the sensor 13 is transferred to the processing unit 2.
  • the processing unit 2 receives and processes the data derived from the acquisition device.
  • the processing unit 2 is able to implement different imaging methods in relation to the type of interventional procedure to be carried out.
  • the processing unit 2 is capable of determining the current position of a medical instrument, and/or of merging two-dimensional per-operative images with pre-operative images, such as three-dimensional model of the patient's vascular system for example.
  • the processing unit 2 can be integrated in the acquisition device 1, or can be separate from the acquisition device 1.
  • the processing unit 2 is one or more computers for example, one or more computers, one or more processors, or one or more microcontrollers, one or more micro-computers, one or more programmable logic controllers, one or more application-specific integrated circuits, other programmable circuits or other devices which include a computer such as a work station.
  • the processing unit 2 is coupled with one or more memories 21 which can be integrated in or separate from the processing unit 2.
  • the memory 21 may be a ROM/RAM memory of the processing unit 2, a CD-ROM, a USB key, a memory of a central server.
  • the display means 3 allow display of the image or images derived from the processing unit 2 and of the patient's biological data such as heart rate, etc.
  • the display means are coupled with the processing unit via connection cables.
  • the display means 3 are for example one or more monitors, one or more LCD screens, one or more flat screens, one or more plasma screens, or a combination thereof, or any type of display device known to persons skilled in the art.
  • the display means 3 are integrated in the acquisition device 1.
  • the display means 3 are secured to the acquisition device 1 via an articulated supporting structure 31, 32, 33, 34.
  • This articulated supporting structure 31, 32, 33, 34 allows the display means 3 to travel between a retracted position illustrated figure 2 and a deployed position illustrated figure 3 .
  • the supporting structure may comprise a telescopic arm.
  • the use of a telescopic arm allows limitation of the volume taken up by the supporting structure when the display means 3 are in retracted position.
  • the supporting structure comprises two telescopic arms 31, 32. This facilitates adjustment of the position of the display means 3 to achieve optimal reading comfort for the user.
  • the first telescopic arm 31 is fixed to the stand 15 of the acquisition device 1 via a first connection 33 having at least two degrees of freedom.
  • the free end of the first telescopic arm 31 is connected to the second telescopic arm 32 via a second connection 34 having at least two degrees of freedom.
  • the free end of the second telescopic arm 32 can be connected to the display means 3 via a third connection having at least one degree of freedom.
  • the use of connections 33, 34 having at least two degrees of freedom can facilitate the orientation and positioning of the display means 3 by the user.
  • the different connections 33, 34 of the system can be ball-joints with three degrees of freedom.
  • each telescopic arm 31, 32 may comprise a cut-out to pass connection cables.
  • the connection cables can be of different types.
  • the connection cables are helical cables. This can impart sufficient flexibility to the connection cables whilst limiting the space taken up by the imaging system.
  • the imaging system comprises a base 35 intended to receive the display means 3 when these are in the retracted position.
  • the position of the base 35 is designed so that the display means 3 do not form an obstacle against movement of the C-arm 11 during the acquisition of X-ray data. More generally, the presence of a base 35 defining the retracted position of the display means 3 can guarantee that these display means do not perturb movement of the acquisition device 1. It is effectively recalled that the acquisition device 1 is capable of being moved within the operating room.
  • the base 3 is associated with a detector 36 to detect the presence of the display means 3 on the base 35.
  • the detector is connected to a control unit controlling the movement of the C-arm.
  • the control unit authorizes movement of the C-arm 11 for the acquisition of X-ray data. If the detector 36 does not detect the presence of the display means 3 on the base 35 (i.e. the display means are in deployed position) the control unit does not authorized fast-speed travel of the C-arm 11.
  • the detector 36 for example comprises a switch connected between a motor, allowing movement of the C-arm 11, and the power supply to the motor.
  • the switch When the display means 3 are arranged on the base 3, the switch is in closed status which means that the motor is coupled to its power supply. In this case, the motor can move the C-arm 11for possible acquisition of X-ray data.
  • the switch is in open status which means that the motor is uncoupled from its power supply. In this case, the C-arm 11 cannot be moved.
  • the above-described medical imaging system allows several image-assisted surgical procedures to be performed in one same operating room.
  • the ergonomics of the medical imaging system enable each user to proceed under optimal working conditions.
  • the acquisition device is a device to acquire X-ray images.
  • the acquisition device may be of another type.
  • the acquisition device 1 may for example be a device to acquire images by ultrasound, by magnetic resonance (MRI), by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), by tomodensitometry (TDM) or by positron emission tomography PET.
  • MRI magnetic resonance
  • SPECT single photon emission computed tomography
  • TDM tomodensitometry
  • PET positron emission tomography
  • the display means are connected at the base of the acquisition device.
  • the display means for example, can be connected to the end of the C-arm comprising the sensor.
  • the movement of the display means may be manual or automatic. In this latter case, the presence of a base and/or a detector is no longer necessary, the movements of the display means then possibly being synchronized with the movement of the C-arm or the acquisition device as a whole.
